    PER CURIAM:
    Shawn Crawford Allen seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254
    (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the
    district courts opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
    we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
    the reasoning of the district court. Allen v. Jake, No. CA-97-598
    (E.D. Va. Dec. 9, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the
    facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
    process.

    DISMISSED
